The Family Resource Network of Central Florida is a community-based network for children and teens with diabetes and their families. It is coordinated locally by parent volunteers (who have diabetic children) and is supported by regional and national staff members of the American Diabetes Association. We provide information and services including education, social events and advocacy (including school health care assistance) to families living with diabetes throughout Central Florida (Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia, Brevard and Lake county).
